Default Nailed 2nd gear HARD yesterday and heard a 'CLUNK' from what felt like the rear end..

Rear end isnt broken it sounded like something is loose or something hit hard when I hit 2nd gear. The car IS lowered almost all the way just barely an inch before the bump stops touch but dont think they would make this kind of noise.

I normally dont read any posts associated with torque arms and the like and other suspension/chassis parts but I'm starting to wonder if I should start to take notice...

ANy thoughts on what it might be? from some searches I'm reading about broken torque arm mounts on the diff etc. I drove the car hard after that i just didnt powershift hard into any gears as I sped through the backroads at 5am. no problems after that.

Could have been the torque arm hitting the trans tunnel, especially if the rear is offset a little to the left.

Check your tranny mount.
